Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child has very painful tonsillitis, how should it be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, and can also combine them with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injection of drugs, etc., which are all good options. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. If the condition is severe, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. During treatment, it is essential to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
